Prem striker wants club to tie up Arsenal deal: Star's not got a clue what is going on

Jack Wilshere was loaned out to Bournemouth from Arsenal in the summer

The Arsenal and England ace joined the Cherries on loan last summer to revive his injury-hit career.

Wilshere still hopes to regain his first team spot with the Gunners and will hold talks over a new contract in the summer.

His current deal runs until the end of next season.

“I’d like him to stay but that is a chat he has to have with this manager and the manager at Arsenal and his family and agent,” said Cherries striker Afobe who has been best friends with Wilshere since their days together in the Gunners’ academy.

Jack Wilshere next club odds

“No friend or player is going to influence his decision”

Bournemouth striker Benik Afobe

“No friend or player is going to influence his decision. We are into April now and he has not got a clue what he will be doing.

“Right now he still has to focus on staying injury free, finishing the season strongly and doing his best for the club.”

Whether he stays or not Afobe believes Wilshere has had a positive impact in his time at Bournemouth.

“Jack has helped the club and the players,” he said.

“He has lifted us and the quality in training has improved a lot since I first came last January.

“It shows we are growing as a club because we are attracting these kind of players and hopefully when we sign more players they will be high quality.”

Afobe and Wilshere will be aiming to team up to help Bournemouth put one over Arsenal’s bitter rivals Tottenham today.
